Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 171: Battle of Poland (34)

Seeing Yannick stepping out of the car, the crowd around him burst into cheers.

Yannick stepped forward and shook hands with everyone, greeted them cordially, and asked about their well-being. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and many people even had tears in their eyes.

When I walked up to a tall man to shake hands, I heard him shouting at the top of his lungs. "Your Highness, I want to go to the front line!"

"Oh?" Yannick stopped and asked with interest. "Isn't it good to be here? Why do you want to go to the front line?" In fact, he also knew that these ground workers were a kind of military service that was not popular with young people. To put it bluntly, they were the so-called porters and statisticians. But no matter how much you don't like it, someone has to do it. Otherwise, if everyone goes to the front line, what will be the point of fighting? Even burning fire sticks is not enough. And working here is at least much safer than working on the front line. Unless the enemy advances within the range of artillery or loses air superiority, there is no danger.

The big man scratched his head. "Your Highness, everything is fine for me here. But there are no enemies here. I don't even see what the enemies look like when I think about the end of the war. If I go home like this and my neighbors ask me how many enemies I have killed, how should I answer? ?”

Seeing that many people around him had expressions of deep approval, Yannick was about to ask Anne to find a microphone, but he saw that Anne was already waiting behind him with a microphone.

"..." Quietly extending his thumb, Yannick took the microphone and began a short impromptu speech. "It seems that many of you feel that the contribution at the rear is not as good as at the front? The soldiers who charge and bravely kill the enemy on the front are certainly respectable and awe-inspiring, but no one can deny the contribution of those at the rear.

You can think about it, the soldiers on the front line use guns to fight the enemy, so where do they get the guns in their hands? Obviously, it was transported by the transportation department from the arsenal. The materials for making guns in the arsenal are transported from the metallurgical factory, and the ore in the metallurgical factory is transported from the mining field.

Even if one link is missing, the soldiers on the front line can't even get fire sticks and can only face the enemy with bare hands.

Let's take this airport as an example. The pilots can drop bombs on the enemy's heads with flying colors, but without your hard-working ground crew, the most advanced aircraft will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

You must remember that there is no distinction between high and low jobs, only the division of labor. As long as each of us fulfills our duties and has the courage to contribute, the empire will surely win this war and restore its former prosperity!

I promise everyone, we will never lose this time! I will lead you to develop a thousand-year empire! "

The crowd burst into overwhelming cheers. Yannick patted the tall man's shoulder affectionately. "Work hard, and I guarantee that the medals on your chest will not be less than those of those pilots in the future, and you will return home with honor."

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and a group of bombers returned. Yannick asked everyone to disperse, and after returning to their posts, he returned to the car.

"Your Highness, please wipe your hands." Anne handed over a handkerchief. Just now, Yannick shook hands with everyone, and his hands were stained with a lot of oil.

Yannick ordered while wiping his hands. "When I get back, I will inform Goebbels and ask him to publish more articles like this to praise these logistics personnel."

Annie nodded in response. "yes."

Returning to the plane, Yannick waved to Liszt. "Then I'll leave this place to you, General List. We'll see you at the celebration banquet soon." Poland should surrender in a week at most.

Back in Berlin, Ribbentrop had been waiting for a long time. "Your Highness, Britain and France have issued embargo orders to various oil countries. Even Daming's oil will be suspended for a period of time. The Ambassador of Daming just asked me to convey my apology to you."

Yannick smiled disapprovingly. "Tell Ambassador Ming that this is just a minor issue and will not affect the friendship between our two countries."

These methods of Britain and France are just old routines. At the beginning of the war in the original time and space, Britain and France blocked the oil supply field, which forced all German combat plans to be restrained. As Germany's oil reserves dropped rapidly from 2.4 million tons to 1.6 million tons, the German army never dared to take the initiative to launch large-scale air battles and bombings against Britain, France and other countries because its fuel stocks were seriously insufficient and could only launch a land war on the Western Front. attack.

But now it's completely different. In recent years, more than 10 million tons of oil have been transported from Daming. Together with the oil previously purchased from oil-producing countries such as the Soviet Union, the Middle East, and the United States, Germany's current oil reserves have reached 15 million. Tons, you can spend at least two years to your heart's content. (In fact, every European country has its own oil fields)

And he still has the secret trump card of Libya that he has not revealed. Although oil extraction has not yet begun, a fully functional city has been built on the ground, and all kinds of mining tools are in place. Three oil pipelines connected to the port have also been laid in the name of water pipelines. As long as you give an order, within a month, a steady stream of oil will be mined, processed on site and transported to the port.

Of course, he still has to solve Malta, the nail wedged into the Mediterranean Sea, before he can safely transport oil across the sea, but according to his plan, these are not big problems.

Coupled with the large and small oil fields in various European countries, this time Germany does not have to worry about oil at all.

Just when the Poles in Warsaw thought that the German army was preparing to bomb Warsaw, the bombing suddenly stopped early the next morning.

One after another, special teams entered the bombed urban areas that were beyond recognition.

The backbone of each team is a "Grizzly" assault gun painted in urban camouflage and equipped with a StuH 43/1 150mm gun and a "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Although it has the same 320-horsepower engine as the Jackal tank, its speed is only about 15 kilometers per hour. The weight reached 36 tons, which was a full 10 tons more than the Jackal Tank. All the ten tons of weight are used in additional armor, and even the most vulnerable top armor and bottom armor have a thickness of 30 mm.

The skirt is almost dragged to the ground, and there is a simple mine plow in the front. In addition, the engine cover and vents have been improved to specifically defend against Monotov cocktail Molotov cocktails. Let's make this street fighting tank a real turtle shell.

As an assault gun designed specifically for infantry support, the Grizzly lacked performance in conventional combat. But in street fighting, it is a nightmare for the enemy. The thick armor allows the Grizzly to use its 150mm caliber howitzer to shoot at close range, and it will kill you with one shot.

Da da da!

After a while, a series of machine gun bullets hit the extremely thick armor of the Grizzly assault gun, splashing a series of sparks. It's a pity that not to mention this kind of 7mm machine gun ammunition, even heavy machine guns, machine guns and even small and medium-caliber cannons are just behind it.

squeak!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The assault gun was still turning its heavy body to aim in the direction of the bullet. The "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun following it roared first.

This "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is also modified from the chassis of the Jackal tank. The front of the turret is not a cannon, but four majestic-looking 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were originally used to deal with flying targets, so this weapon can adjust the turret angle very quickly, and the relative reaction time is shorter, so it can deal with threats from all directions more quickly. Coupled with the same comprehensive armor protection, it is no exaggeration to say that it is an artifact in street fighting.

Now the four 20mm cannons roared together, instantly smashing the window opposite where the bullets were fired, and the surrounding walls were densely covered with bullet holes as big as a bowl. Unless they are indestructible, the people in that room can be said to be dead and unable to die again.

The infantrymen who followed the tanks were also wearing urban camouflage combat uniforms, and they also had powerful firepower, mainly MP40 and MP44, supplemented by G43, shotguns, flamethrowers, grenade guns and other weapons.
